Vladimir Putin Was Asked About James Comey Firing And It Got Weird
Russian President Vladimir Putin was getting ready to play in a Russian hockey game when he was confronted by a CBS reporter. The journalist was hoping to get the Russian President’s reaction to Donald Trump’s firing of F.B.I. Director James Comey.
What unfolded was a surreal scene that you have to witness.

“Your question looks very funny for me,” Putin said via his interpreter. He later added, “You see I am going to play hockey, with the hockey fans, and I invite you to do the same.”
As an added bonus, here are a bunch of hockey players trying their hardest not to hit Vladimir Putin:

We’re not sure if this was a translation issue or a “no comment” from Putin. Either way, he’s probably very happy with his Trump puppet’s decision.
